曲：King of Solitude - 鬼束ちひろ
this song is really good for the night. onitsuka chihiro calms you down when you're not feeling really at peace, and if you listen to her with everything else off and silence in the middle of the night. the japanese have a word for this kind of singers: 癒し系 - meaning literally like they can cure you, make you feel better.
just a few days before i leave for melbourne, but i dont feel that urgency to get ready anything yet. heh. im looking forward to it though, i cnt wait to leave this country and embark on a journey of sorts. i know, when i come back, ill probably be out of touch with everything around me, but somehow im willing to sacrifice tt for tt feeling of freedom ill get in another country. i need my solitude at times, as people who know me know. i need to be by myself sometimes. and maybe this is the time i can take tt off i so desperately need.
made loads of new friends through this pre-u seminar thing. sorry i couldnt make it on those days i had to work, but i think we have a pretty well-rounded team. shi jie, the [mom] of the team and twenty-three others. smart people, all of them.
sometimes there are things we cannot control in life, and it's through how we handle uncontrollable situations that we learn.i never used to think that protecting oneself was important - until berry and ricky shook some sense into me. i will always remember that day ricky didnt allow me to go down for dinner break, and told sharon, "wait later then she go down, i want to knock some sense into this silly girl."
and when he pulled me aside to a corner of empire and started telling me how i had to protect myself from all that was happening, tears came out of my eyes. there were people protecting me, i felt, even though i wasnt protecting myself.
[countdown: 6 days]
velda.
